Micheal S. O' Ceilleachair2019-02-07http://www.thejournal.ie/profile/158081/so-precedent-self-governing-country-member-eu-constituent-7833392/So there is precedent for a self governing part of a country to be not a member of the EU and still be a constituent member of the UK. Such a scenario could if properly could enable Scotland and Northern Ireland to remain in the EU whilst England and Wales successfully exit whilst still maintaining the United Kingdom. The DUP might still call foul but they are selective when it comes to alignment of UK and Northern Ireland. For example their laws on abortion do not align. They have a devolved government which does not function. The solution is to allow England/Wales to leave. Let Scotland and Northern Ireland remain. Either way what does the Union of Great Britain document actually state because the nature of that Union has changed over time. A Greenland variation solution might do.

Skybloo2019-02-07http://www.thejournal.ie/profile/297139/this-interesting-legally-possible-northern-ireland-scotland-request-7833446/This is interesting – would it be legally possible for the Northern Ireland and Scotland to request to remain members of the EU? It might usefully remind England of the true nature of Great Britain in 2019. Will England and Wales still choose to leave then?

Brian Ó Dálaigh2019-02-07http://www.thejournal.ie/profile/602771/no-does-similar-government-scotland-united-kingdom-7833797/No, it does not have a similar system of government to Scotland in the United Kingdom. Greenland has far, far more independence than Scotland and can negotiate international trade deals (which Scotland can’t). Greenland, the Faroe Islands and Denmark are the three countries which make up the Kingdom of Denmark. Unlike Scotland or Wales, each of these countries can initiate their own independence proceedings. It is entirely feasible, albeit unlikely, that Denmark could become independent of the Kingdom of Denmark, leaving the Kingdom of Denmark comprising solely of Greenland and the Faroe Islands. A closer comparison, though still not accurate, would be the relationship between the UK and the Isle of Man or the Netherlands and Aruba.

Eh?
Like seven-ninths?
Or twelve-fifteenths?
This Brexit business is tricky enough without introducing fractions into the equation
